DOVONEX
How To Use
How to use Dovonex®
Always use Dovonex exactly as your doctor has told you.
You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
How to put on Dovonex This medicine is only for using on your skin or the skin of a child.
Do not swallow it. Do not put it inside your body.
Never put this medicine on your face or the face of your child as it may cause irritation.
Do not mix Dovonex with any other medicines.
Remove the cap. Check the seal is not broken before you first use the ointment. If you have a 240 gram tube, remove the foil seal on the tube.* If you have a 15 gram, 30 gram, 60 gram, 100 gram or 120 gram tube, you will need to break the seal by using the point in the back of the cap.* Always wash your hands before using Dovonex. Put your medicine on the skin which has the psoriasis. You can squeeze your medicine on to your skin directly. You can squeeze it on to your finger first if you wish. Put your medicine on thickly. Then rub it in gently to cover the psoriasis. Always wash your hands after using Dovonex. This will stop any medicine accidentally spreading to other parts of your body. Do not worry if you accidentally get any ointment on your normal skin, but wash it off if it spreads too far. Unless you are using the ointment to treat your hands, always wash your hands after using Dovonex. You should try to keep your skin well moisturised particularly after a bath or shower. If you use a moisturiser wait for it to soak in before you use your medicine.
Product Details
What you need to know before you use Dovonex®
Do not use Dovonex • If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to calcipotriol or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6) • If you have been told by a doctor that you have high or low levels of a substance called calcium in your body (calcium metabolism disorders) • If you have severe kidney problems • If you have severe liver problems • Do not use on your face • Do not use on children under 6 years old. Warnings and precautions: Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before using Dovonex • If you are already having ultraviolet (UV) light treatment • If you have guttate, erythrodermic, exfoliative or pustular psoriasis. Ask your doctor if you are unsure. Excess calcium in the blood (hypercalcaemia) This medicine can cause an increase in calcium levels in the body so it is important that you do not exceed the recommended dose (See section 4). Raised calcium levels can produce • Increased amounts of urine (passing water more frequently or in greater quantities than usual) and/or increased thirst • Dry or metallic taste in the mouth • Stomach upsets (including pain, nausea, vomiting and constipation) • Weak muscles and/or pain in the bones • Tiredness, fatigue and confusion If you get any of these tell your doctor straight away.

Your doctor may need to change your dose. You are not likely to get too much calcium in your blood if you use the dose prescribed for you. You can find the dose that you should use in section 3 of this leaflet. You are more likely to get too much calcium in your blood if you use more than the recommended dose each week.
Do not use Dovonex on your face as it may irritate the skin on your face or accidentally get in your eyes.

Your doctor may tell you to limit your exposure to natural or artificial sunlight, e.g. sunbathing and sun beds, while you are using this medicine. Do not smoke or go near naked flames – risk of severe burns. Fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings etc) that has been in contact with this product burns more easily and is a serious fire hazard. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but not totally remove it. Children Do not use this medicine on children under 6 years old. Other medicines and Dovonex Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. This includes any medicines which you have bought without a prescription or herbal medicines. Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine. If your doctor has agreed that you can breast-feed, do not apply Dovonex to the breast area. Driving and using machines This medicine should not have any effect on your ability to drive or use machines. Check with your doctor if you develop any effects that may interfere with your ability to drive, operate machinery or take part in any other activity where they may put you or others at risk.
